Welcome to the Bay Area International Children's Film Festival Wiki. BAICFF is an annual film festival programmed especially for families. Through the festival, children gain exposure to varied cultures, traditions, lives and experiences. As they come to better understand the world, children grow into thoughtful and conscious leaders of tomorrow.

If you're looking for a weekend cultural event in the San Francisco Bay Area that's stimulating for children and relaxing for parents, you've come to the right place!

The fourth annual Bay Area International Children's Film Festival ("BAICFF"), a Playdate for the Imagination, is set for SATURDAY, JANUARY 28 & SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 2012, at the beautiful art deco theater, Michaan's Auctions, in Alameda, California.

During the first half of each day, we'll screen a series of shorts and a feature film for ages 3 and up. During the second half of each day, we'll show a series of shorts and a feature film for ages 8 and up. We'll also be hosting more dazzling animation workshops. Check out the videos from last year's workshops.

All tickets provide access to multiple films. Regular ticket prices: half-day pass is $10, a full-day pass is $15, or weekend pass is $20. Early-bird discounted tickets ($15 for a weekend pass) can be purchased online from December 7 - January 13 at www.baicff.com. Filmmaking workshop tickets can also be purchased online starting January 12. Space is limited.

For the fourth year in a row, we'll be hosting BAICFF at the beautiful art deco theater, Michaan's Auctions (formerly Auctions by the Bay), in Alameda. What was once the barren Alameda Naval Air Station movie house is now a luxurious venue with rocking chair loge seats, Dolby stereo sound system, and interior design pieces salvaged from classic theaters around the Bay Area. Don't miss the Egyptian Room upstairs, on your way to a seat on the balcony.
